The cylinder head was also modified from 8-valve OHV to 16-valve DOHC, an extremely rare configuration at that time. At first the power output was originally 1100NaN0 which was then increased to 1300NaN0 at 8000 rpm.^[10]

It is using lower cost low carbon steel material^[12] and labelled with "VE" code (a code for Daihatsu engines with VVT-i), while the Toyota version is using more expensive and lighter aluminium alloy material^[13] and labelled with "FE" code (Toyota's code for narrow-angle DOHC engine with fuel injection). This Daihatsu version is only fitted to Daihatsu's developed cars, intended for developing markets. A version with "VEX" code is used in conjunction with an electric motor in a hybrid system.^[14]
